PETALING JAYA: Controversial preacher Zakir Naik (pix) has hailed Interpol\u2019s decision to not issue a red corner notice (RCN) against him as proof of his innocence.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Interpol decision does not come as a shock,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt only shows how flimsy the Indian government\u2019s charges against me have been.\u201d<\/p>\n
According to him, this was even more pertinent given that the international police organisation rarely refused an RCN when charges of terrorism were involved, \u201cwhich is what the Indian government is accusing me of\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m not sure what the (Indian) government gains by falsely implicating me. I\u2019m not even sure for how long this witch hunt will continue,\u201d he said in a statement in response to reports that India had failed for the third time to get Interpol to issue a RCN against him.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat I\u2019m sure of is that truth is on my side and the Interpol\u2019s decision shows that the truth is already winning.\u201d<\/p>\n
Zakir said none of the Indian government agencies were able to provide any proof (of his guilt).<\/p>\n
\u201cInterpol will not play along with the Indian government\u2019s political and communal turmoil.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf three years was not enough to gather evidences against me, chances are they don\u2019t exist,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Zakir said being on Interpol\u2019s list does not automatically make him as a terrorist because there\u2019s still a fair trial and court verdict needed for that.<\/p>\n
\u201cInterestingly, my case officers know the truth.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey know that I have not committed a crime, any crime.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey continue because they\u2019re forced to by their political bosses.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
